RWY 26

City of Slaton/Larry T Neal Meml is in Slaton, Texas. The field elevation is 3,126.5 ft MSL. It has two runways, but runway 08/26 is permanently closed. The active runway is 18/36 at 4,244 ft, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. The published CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. Approach and departure support is through Lubbock on 119.2 and 351.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard traffic pattern planning unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in west Texas at a fairly high elevation, so density altitude can matter on warm days. That affects takeoff roll and climb performance.

Neal Aircraft is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The published remarks also note aerobatic activity from sunrise to sunset with moderate weekend use. Runway 18/36 has medium intensity lights with nonstandard pilot-controlled lighting on the CTAF. The PAPI is out of service on both runway ends, so plan your glidepath without it. Aircraft are not visible from opposite ends of the runway, so keep a close scan on the runway environment during taxi and departure.
